Chapter 3997: Dispute

ll inevitably suffer a heavy loss from this affair. 。You can also remind him appropriately that as a top-notch second-rank Dan King, his cultivation level is far beyond that of ordinary cultivators at...On that day, the celestial-ranked giant ant, Ji Xuan, was extremely arrogant and showed no courtesy to Ying Heng at all.

"Fellow Daoist Yingheng, these Ghost Mist Lice and Kun were originally driven away by you. If you do not assist us in dealing with them, do not blame us for driving them back later and reporting the matter to the Heavenly Court." Ji Xuan's pair of ant eyes looked extremely fierce, making no attempt to hide his threatening words.

It seems this matter isn't just your idea. Even Yingfeng, who returned from the Wēi Mountain Immortal Realm, was also involved in the beginning. At that time, the Ant King will definitely have to report to Heaven as well. None of you can escape.

“Those who know, know that he is a trusted general under the Mirage Beast King. Those who don’t know might think he's just some stray dog. Whatever tricks you have, use them! If you truly have the ability to drive back the Ghost Mist Leech Carp, then it's your skill. If not, don't embarrass yourselves here.”

Here is the translated text:

Originally, the other party was just looking for Yingheng, and Lu Xia Tian simply pretended not to see it. However, since the other party mentioned him, if he continued to act like a turtle in its shell, it would be difficult to carry out his work in the South Sea Dragon Palace in the future. After all, he might have to move among battlefields later on. If he had no prestige, many things might be inconvenient to do. In the demon clan, the law of the jungle is more direct than in heaven.

As for important celestial officials in the Heavenly Court, such as Miao Qianmu and the Twelve Star Guards, Lu Xia Tian would naturally be respectful and courteous when facing them. However, these sea demon clan members were not stronger than their dragon clan in status. For such a group, there was no need for excessive politeness.

“It seems this is Ying Feng. He truly lives up to the reputation of the heavenly official from the Celestial Court, a hot-tempered and reckless man. His words are like daggers, and those who can’t control their mouths often die young. You have offended the celestial officials in the Heavenly Court and acted recklessly. I doubt you will be able to evade consequences for long.” Ji Xuan said coldly.

"Even if one day you truly encounter misfortune, it's not your fault. I'll say it again, if you have the ability to bring back the Ghost Mist Lice-fish, then do so. If you don't have the ability, just go back and stop talking nonsense and making wild claims." Lu Xia Tian said bluntly.

"Alright, let's see what happens then." Jí Xuán and the team of Shèn Yǐ Beasts who came with him were so angry their faces turned as green as iron. If it weren't for the fact that the army of demon soldiers from the Nan Hai Dragon Palace was stationed nearby, Jí Xuán and his companions would have almost charged at Lü Xiǎo Tiān to fight him immediately.

"Third Prince, perhaps your attitude towards them was a bit too harsh. Heaven's Court has never been particularly fond of us. If they were to complain to Heaven's Court, we would certainly find ourselves in more trouble even if we were innocent." Looking at Ji Xuan and the other Manticore leaving with indignation, Ying Heng said worriedly.

“Why bother so much We have to face the wrath of the Heavenly Court above, and we also have to face the wrath of these Sea Demon Clans below For the Dragon Palace, it's not necessarily a good thing for all the sea demons in the South China Sea to be on good terms with the Dragon Palace. Didn’t they cultivate so many powerful Sea Demon Clans across the vast South China Sea just to contain us, the Dragon Palace” Lu Xia Tian shook his head and smiled.

"The King of War is right. Heaven's Court only wants the South Sea to be in turmoil. Besides, these mirage ants are being too deceitful! Those Ghost Fog Lice-Carp just wandered into our Dragon Palace territory That's not how things work! Who would be foolish enough to fight those Ghost Fog Lice-Carp It has nothing to do with us, so we stay out of it. They want our help but act like they are superior, treating themselves as immortals from Heaven's Court."The Purple Gold Crab demon, who had teamed up with Lu Xia Tian numerous times before, also said in an irritated tone.

“Hope it’s not a bad thing, then.” Yingheng let out a small sigh, devoid of the usual majesty he displayed before ordinary merfolk. He looked worried and troubled instead.

“What are you worried about” Lu Xia Tian sent a voice transmission to Ying Heng after seeing the worry in his expression.

"In the last battle against the East Sea Dragon Palace, our Dragon Palace suffered losses besides the army of sea monsters under our command. The Dragon King was also injured and his strength has diminished. As for the specifics of his injury, I do not know, and the Dragon King hasn't told me too many details. Among the monsters who fought alongside the Dragon King at the time was the Monarch of the Mirage Ant Beasts. Since they were so aggressive and showed no signs of testing the waters, the Dragon King's injuries may be worse than what I know." Ying Heng said with a worried expression.

"The Dragon King is injured" Lu Xiaoteng's face was filled with surprise, this was indeed a bombshell.

“Otherwise, although the Shenshi clan usually has a normal relationship with the Dragon Palace, why would they be so disrespectful” Ying Heng shook his head.

"That's not something we should be considering. Even if the Dragon King is injured, our South Sea Dragon Palace absolutely cannot be bullied by these sea monster clans easily. Could the Centipede Beast King possibly personally attack us" Lu Xia Tian snorted, Ying Heng's consideration wasn't unreasonable, but Lu Xia Tian didn't have this worry. Even if the South Sea Dragon King Ying Zhong was injured, the other party wouldn't dare to be too blatant. They would probably just seize some territory from the South Sea Dragon Palace. This territory of the South Sea Dragon Palace was insignificant to Lu Xia Tian."

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!

The Siren Clan controlled a vast territory in this sea. While their power wasn't as great as the South Sea Dragon Palace, it was still considerable. Even the South Sea Dragon Palace found these thousands of Ghost Mist Scale Carp extremely troublesome. It wouldn't be easy for the Siren Clan to surpass the South Sea Dragon Palace.

Dealing with Ghost Mist Lice Whales isn't about brute force. Even a Golden Immortal, though capable of effortlessly killing some among the thousands of Ghost Mist Lice Whales, would face a significant challenge. These creatures are incredibly sensitive to powerful attacks and suppression. If severely wounded, they could explode into Ghost Mist Lice spores, wreaking havoc across their territory and engulfing countless beings. Furthermore, when thousands of Ghost Mist Lice Whales unite, even a Golden Immortal would struggle to break through. Previously, driving these Ghost Mist Lice Whales into the territory ruled by the Giant Shrimp King wasn't solely Lu Xia Tian's doing. Even with his abilities, he could only offer warnings when the Ghost Mist Lice leader intervened. His energy-infused spear blasts inflicted some pain on the opponent, but that was all.

What truly stopped this group of ghost mist lice sharks was the tens of thousands of sea monsters brought by Ying Heng. The thousand or so ghost mist lice sharks didn't suffer any losses, and even gained some advantage. They just felt that tangling with Lu Xia Tian and Ying Heng's army would be a waste of time and not very profitable.

For half a year, the group of ghost mist lice whales stationed near the sea where the mirage beast king resided. There was no sign of their return, and Lu Xia Tian only stayed here in seclusion for half a year before returning to the Southern South Sea Dragon Palace with the army.d, the Ice Crown Crocodile's giant tail lashed out at the Scarlet-browed Demonic Owl's left wing. Taking advantage of the Scarlet-browed Demonic Owl's screeching and swaying body in mid-air, the Ice...
